SEQ Needs You

Tens of thousands of South East Queensland home owners live under the constant threat of severe flooding and the heartbreaking disruption caused by these natural disasters.

Our cherished waterways, landscapes and native wildlife that make life in SEQ so special are also under the same threat.

Then, while recovery efforts were still ongoing, further heavy rain and damaging weather in May left more than 550 roads across the state cut by flooding and multiple people stranded, requiring evacuation once again. A stark reminder that SEQ is not prepared to handle the impacts of climate change.

To create disaster resilient regions, we must have proactive investment in on-ground projects that reduce flood risk, rather than governments simply pouring millions into clean up and recovery after the event.

Channelling investment into resilience is not just an economically sound approach, it will also have untold positive social, environmental and cultural benefits for SEQ.

It is time for everyone in SEQ to pull together and make our region more resilient to the impact of natural disasters, such as floods, bushfires, and climate change has on our environment and lifestyle.

Healthy, vegetated landscapes also decrease the volume of sediments being swept out lost to Moreton Bay and the ocean where they cause further damage to precious marine life.

We are convening a region-wide roundtable event bringing together community leaders and influencers to help map out strategies and demand proactive change for SEQ.
